Extreme weather events, such as flooding in parts of Michigan in 2020 and the prolonged wet weather and flooding in spring 2019 often put farmers in difficult financial positions.

MSU Extension’s statewide network of agricultural educators have responded to these situations by tracking growing conditions, working individually with farmers, hosting crop update sessions and writing educational articles detailing how farmers could adjust to inhospitable conditions, make difficult choices and apply for crop damage assistance when applicable.

Because extreme weather issues have the potential to greatly affect farm income, educational efforts include programming dedicated to assisting farmers under stressful conditions. MSU Extension provides programming dedicated toserving farmers under stress- whether it be physical, financial, emotional or some combination of pressures.
